1 1 vote In the triangle ABC , Angle ACB = 90 degree (Angle Subtended by the Diameter = 90 degree) AC = 5cm AB = 6.5 * 2 = 13 cm using Pythagoras theorem $AB^{2} = AC^{2} + CB^{2}$ $CB = \sqrt{13^{2} - 5^{2}}$ = 12 Area of triangle ABC = 0.5 * AC * CB = 30 sq.cm. Option B is the Correct Answer. Shubham Sharma 2 answered Aug 14, 2017 Shubham Sharma 2 4.7k points comment Share Follow 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
